I think this might be the episode where everything really "clicks". I'm even finding the Ron Swanson character to be funny so far.
ETA: So much for the idea that they forgot Tom was married.
ETA2: Green card marriage! Brilliant!
ETA3: Riding lawnmower through Nordstrom! Yes, this is my favorite episode yet.

I enjoy the show every week, but this was hands down the best episode thus far.

Loved Aubrey Plaza's character sad that no one tried to find any dirt on her. This show grows on me more every week.

The news reports were awesome too.
"Breaking news: It appears the mayor had sex in his limo with a prostitute both before and after his press conference regarding a four-way affair"
...or something like that.

I really like that poor bastard in the department that kept getting mroe and more dirt turned up on him.
I also really like Aubrey Plaza's deadpan delivery.

This is turning into one of my favorite shows. The whole part of them digging up dirt on each other was hilarious.
I love Rashida Jones as the straight person dealing with the others.

I think I saw the first or second episode last season. This was the first time I caught it since. Very funny episode and Amy was wonderful.

Awesome episode. Best of the series so far.
And even though that was real danish (badly pronounced) that's not what we call it.

Maybe it's just that you're used to seeing her doing sketch comedy where she could be outrageous and her characters didn't have to have much grounding in reality.
Here she has to play a character that could believable exist in the real world, although I'm not sure how believable it is that Leslie Knope could function in the real world.

I have enjoyed every episode prior to this one, but this episode was hands down the best. I think the show has really hit its stride and found its groove; hopefully it doesn't get canceled and will continue to grow. The addition of Louis C.K. is great too; I love his character and the way he interacts with Leslie. Ansari continues to impress as Tom; everything he says/does is golden. Loved Offerman's alter-ego and the guy that kept getting "dirt" dumped on him by everyone else.
